Between stuff like this and the fairphone I’m really struggling not to pick one up to play around with
This seems pretty cool to me, hopefully this is a trend that catches on. The phone itself looks decent too but it sounds like the screen might be lower resolution? This is coming from a pixel 2 XL so I'm not sure how it compares.
Rant: Big battery? Wow! Why is it that no tech article outside of specialised articles from tech blogs ever mention actual specs? For anyone needing actual specs before even considering a purchase, here's gsm arena: https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_g22-12137.php
Rant over.
Annoyances aside, this is incredible! Well done to Nokia for going back to their roots. Phones are no longer as durable, but at least they can be repairable. But remember this: For true reparability and modularity, there are only Fairphone for smartphones, and Framework for Laptops. Let's hope Nokia also provides the kernel sources quickly and we can hopefully get some custom roms, and maybe even Mobile Linux on this thing!
